(47 SC stitches)

Row 2:
Into the first stitch, place 1 SC and 1 DC. Skip the next stitch. Into the next stitch, place 1 SC and 1 DC. Skip the next stitch. Repeat from * to * 21 more times.
Place 1 SC into the last stitch. CH 1 and turn.
(24 SC stitches, 23 DC stitches = 47 stitches)

Row 3:
Into the first stitch, place 1 SC. Into the second stitch, place 1 BO. Into the next stitch, place 1 SC followed by 1 BO in the next stitch. Repeat from * to * 21 more times until there is one stitch left. Place 1 SC in the final stitch. CH 1 and turn.

Row 53:
Repeat row 1 (don’t forget to CH 1 at the end)

Edging:
Place 1 SC into each stitch across the row. Into the last stitch, place 2 more SC to create the corner curve around to the next edge. Evenly place 1 SC around all edges working 3 SC stitches into each corner stitch space, except the last one. In the final corner, place 2 SC and SS into the top of the first SC of your edging. Fasten off and weave in ends.
